Effluent Discharge Mock Emergency and Evalaution Report

The document summarizes an emergency mock drill evaluation report for an accidental effluent discharge at a maltings plant. The objectives of the drill were to assess emergency response and employee awareness. During the drill scenario, effluent leaked from an effluent tank through an improperly sealed pipe fitting. The emergency response team responded quickly and contained the spill, though the bundwall was found to be leaking. Areas for improvement included keeping bundwall valves closed and repairing leaks. An action plan was made to address issues. The overall emergency response performance was deemed commendable.

DESCRIPTION OF EMERGENCY SCENARIO

 On the morning of 14 August 2020, as part of a maintenance programme, an effluent pump was removed from the effluent tank, and as the work could not be
completed that day, a blanking plate was fitted over the end of pipe where the pump had been removed. That evening, without the Process Malting Technicians
knowing, and when Technician on shift drained effluent from the steep tank to effluent tank, the effluent escaped through the banking plate into the bundwall.
At around 08.30 the Plant Manager was doing plant walkabouts. He discovered effluent on the ground outside the effluent holding tank bundawall.
